“Everything is Better!”

Written by Connie Leave a Comment on “Everything is Better!”

Hi, Hypno-Friends!

Recent client gave a short and sweet testimonial and assessment of life after our Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapy sessions:  “Everything is better!”   –Alex K, Bellevue, WA.

Alex came in to work on personal development and business success.  We worked on confidence-building, “courage” to speak up when useful, positive self-worth, and turn off inappropriate people-pleasing habits.  He also wanted to work on family and relationship communications.  A “relationship” all comes down to HOW you relate, and how you communicate, and we worked on those things as well.  He also wanted to work on self-healing.  The nice thing about hypnosis:  if the mind is involved in the activity, hypnosis helps!  That means we can enhance and improve life in any and every realm.

Alex is a success story.

If you’re at a place in life where you’d like to see some changes, feel stronger in the world, and turn off anxiety and negative self talk, we can do that.  Call us anytime for setting up a free in-office consultation.  Or just call us and let’s get started.  The consult is optional.  We ask a ton of questions in the course of the work to make sure we’re serving YOUR needs.  This is a custom service.

Learn more!  425. 564-8608.  We’re happy to share what we love and do.  Our live, in person office sessions are in Bellevue, convenient to all of the Greater Seattle area.

All the Best,  Connie

A Poem for Smokers from Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP

Written by Connie

In a puff of smoke, the habit arose,
A chain unbroken, or so it goes,
But with hypnosis, a secret key,
To break the spell and set you free.

A gentle trance, the mind at play,
Old patterns vanish, swept away,
Fresh air to breathe, lungs rejoice,
A newfound freedom, a healthy choice.

No more the ash, the smoke, the haze,
In vibrant health, you’ll spend your days,
Through hypnosis, the habit’s tamed,
A smoke-free life, forever gained.

Best hypnotherapy and NLP in the Greater Seattle area is Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP.  Check out our success stories.  🙂

Mindworks Hypnosis for Sleep Improvement

Written by Connie

Perfect Sleeping with HypnosisHi, Hypnosis Friends!

I’d like to talk about hypnosis for sleep improvement!

Many people struggle with getting a good night’s sleep, whether it’s due to stress, anxiety, or other underlying health issues. There are a variety of remedies out there, including medication, which doctors seem to favor.  However, hypnosis is becoming increasingly popular as a natural and effective way to improve sleep.  Sleeping well changes everything!

First things first, let’s talk about what hypnosis really is. It’s not like in the movies!  Hypnosis is a state of focused attention and heightened creativity that occurs naturally throughout our day-to-day experiences. When we watch a movie, get lost in a good book, or daydream, we are in a state of hypnosis. During hypnosis, the conscious mind is relaxed, and the subconscious mind becomes more receptive to positive suggestions and changes.

For hypnosis for sleep, we guide you into a state of deep relaxation and then suggest positive changes and visualization games that are specifically geared towards improving sleep. and releasing stress and tension from your body.

One of the biggest benefits of hypnosis for sleep improvement is that it can help you break negative thought patterns and habits that may be contributing to your sleep issues. For example, if you’re someone who lies in bed worrying about tomorrow’s to-do list or stressing about a particular problem, hypnosis can help you reframe those thoughts and replace them with positive and calming ones.

It’s also worth noting that hypnosis is safe and non-invasive, and people love it, reporting feeling a sense of calm and relaxation during and after the session.  Next time your doctor pulls out the prescription pad, ask him about hypnosis instead, as an au naturel way of improving health.

In conclusion, if you’re someone who struggles with getting a good night’s sleep, hypnosis is worth exploring as a natural and effective way to improve sleep. By relaxing the conscious mind and tapping into the power of the subconscious, hypnosis can help you break negative thought patterns, calm your mind, and create a peaceful and relaxing sleep environment. Sweet dreams!

Benefits of Hypnotherapy – So Many!

Written by Connie

Hi, Hypnosis Friends!

I’ve been doing this work for 16 years now and love, love, love hypnosis and it’s power.  If you’re unfamiliar with hypnosis, you can learn more any time.  I do offer free consultation meetings in my hypnotherapy clinic in Bellevue, WA.

Here’s a more formal essay on the benefits of hypnotherapy.  And this is just scratching the surface on the possibilities.

Hypnotherapy is a form of therapy that uses hypnosis, or a trance-like state, to address a wide range of mental and physical health issues. This therapy has been used for decades and has been shown to be effective in helping people overcome a variety of challenges and achieve their goals. Here are some of the benefits of hypnotherapy:

  1. Stress and Anxiety Relief: Hypnotherapy has been found to be an effective treatment for reducing stress and anxiety. By inducing a state of relaxation, it can help you to overcome anxiety and reduce stress levels.
  2. Pain Management: Hypnotherapy has been shown to be an effective tool for managing pain, particularly for people with chronic pain conditions. It can help to reduce the perception of pain and manage symptoms such as headaches, back pain, and arthritis.
  3. Improved Sleep: Hypnotherapy can also help to improve sleep patterns, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep. This can be particularly beneficial for people with sleep disorders such as insomnia.
  4. Overcoming Bad Habits: Hypnotherapy can be used to help you overcome negative habits such as smoking, overeating, and alcohol consumption. By inducing a state of heightened suggestibility, it can help you to change negative behaviors and develop healthier habits.
  5. Improved Confidence and Self-Esteem: Hypnotherapy can help you to improve your confidence and self-esteem by addressing negative thought patterns and beliefs. This can help you to feel better about yourself and improve your overall well-being.

In conclusion, hypnotherapy can be a powerful tool for improving your mental and physical health. Whether you’re looking to overcome a particular challenge or simply improve your overall well-being, it can be an effective and safe option to consider.

And, of course, you want the BEST people to help you.  Professional, skilled, compassionate. That would be the team at Mindworks Hypnosis.  I’m ready to help.  So is Michael.  Reach out anytime and we’ll get started.  http://www.mindworkshypnosis.net

“Connie Saved My Life!” – A Review of Connie Brannan & Mindworks Hypnosis

Written by Connie

Best Seattle hypnosis & NLP services

Hi, Hypnosis Friends!

The following review made my day!  Another happy client, and one willing to share her success story.  Thanks, JS, the best is yet to come!  Here’s the review:

“Connie saved my life!

And when I say she saved my life, what I literally mean is that she gave me the gift of no longer having to be the person I was any more. She showed me a new path to become the person I wanted to be. She helped me envision a whole new life! And we worked together to put the pieces in place to make that vision a reality. So, in this way, Connie saved me, and I am so very grateful and thrilled to say that in the months and years since working with Connie, the positive changes keep coming!! It’s just amazing – SHE’S amazing!

I found Connie because I was searching for a path out of my own darkness. AND I was looking to fast-track changes, so having heard only a little about hypnosis, it made perfect sense to me to give it a try as therapy had often made me feel heard but never produced lasting change. And I was done talking – I was looking for action.

I’d done enough work to know what I wanted to change when I met with Connie the first time. And I knew “my story” about the experiences in my life that had helped shape who I was. But I didn’t know how to fix it. I lacked skills and tools to meaningfully address any of it in ways that would produce real change. This is where Connie came in: she walked me thorough her process, explained how it all worked, and patiently went at my pace. She is so very kind, gentle and incredibly empathetic!

Every session with Connie has been so much more liberating and validating than even the best therapy sessions I ever had.

From our 1st meeting, I trusted her completely — so I was able to relax and let go. From then on, we worked together to get to the root of issues, articulate exactly what I wanted changed, define how I did want to feel, and worked to get me there. From the time of our 1st session to now, I’m still experiencing changes because she’s taught me how to do some of this work on my own. I cannot say enough great things about Connie, my life-changing experience, and how grateful I am that I found her!”  — JCS

Office Photos – Through the Prismatic Eye

Written by Connie
Hypnosis trance chair Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP
The Trance Chair

Hi, Hypnosis Friends!

The difference between a hobby-ist hypnotist and professional is many fold.  One difference is the commitment to offering a safe, private environment to do the work.  A private office.  Not a “shared by-the-hour, I’m-not-good-enough-to-afford-my-own-space, fly-by-night” office, a real office.

Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP has a charming office, filled with light and warmth and and color and beautiful pieces of artwork.

When I was first starting out in this work 10 years ago, one hypnotist advised me to have a sterile white room with no distractions as my hypnotism space.  Another said:  No, find a space that makes YOU feel good.  Comfortable, happy.  I chose the latter.  My space brings me joy every time I enter it.  And from a platform of joy, I know I do my best work.

Another hypnotist said to me: don’t spend money on nice furniture, buy something cheap and then throw a blanket over it.  I rejected that idea instantly.  No, I bought lovely quality things that offer a professional appearance as well as comfort–especially what I call “the trance chair, ” a leather recliner that I love, and my clients love.

I’m happy to share some colorful photos of my office, taken today.  These are not ordinary photos, these have been “enhanced” with a prismatic eye.

Connie, ready to rock and roll and help you make success.

My space is even prettier in person. It’s smack dab in the heart of the Bellefield Office Park, a greenbelt area of canals, bridges, walking paths, and buildings tucked into the trees.  They call it a “woodsy walkup.”  Very.

I’m proud of my office.  I’d be happy to share the magic generated in this space anytime.

All the Best,
Connie

Hypnosis: The Power of Imagination

Written by Connie

Mindworks Hypnosis for your life success.Hi, Greater Seattle Hypnosis friends!

Hypnosis is a way to tap into that creative problem solving imagination that we all have.

Henry Ford, the automaker, said something I know is true:  “If you think you can, or you think you can’t…you’re right!”  Yes!  Change happens in the mind before it can happen in the world, your habits, your body, your success.  There’s another expression I like, “keep your eyes on the prize.”  You have to know where you want to go in order to get there.

People come into my Bellevue hypnosis clinic and as part of our work, we engage in a one on one live question and answer period where we find and clarify desired goals.  And figure out how we will measure change.  And develop a clear vision of what success looks like, feels like, sounds like, and would afford to a person’s whole lifestyle.  This is super important, and happens before we even begin the formal hypnosis and Neuro Linguistic Processing change work.

In my office we imagine success.  Successfully.  We dream big!  And thus, pave the way to create it.  Albert would be proud.

Find out more anytime about this amazing thing called hypnosis.  I do offer a free consult about how your mind works and how I work and what your mind is capable of creating.  It’s more power than your currently enjoy.

Self Hypnosis for Healthy Eating and Weight Loss @ Bellevue College

Written by Connie

Lose weight with Seattle's most effective hypnotherapy & NLPHi, Hypnosis Friends and Enthusiasts!

We have an expression in the “biz.”  “All hypnosis is self hypnosis.”  This is true.  It’s a learning state of mind we put ourselves into.  It happens naturally all the time.  And it can happen by design.  That’s our traditional understanding of the words “self hypnosis.”

And there can be triggers for INSTANT hypnosis, like flipping a light switch, from awake to hypnosis.  That’s what I install for students at Bellevue College who take my Self Hypnosis for Healthy Eating and Weight Loss course.  It starts tomorrow, June 1st.

http://www.campusce.net/BC/course/course.aspx?C=13255&mc=1893&pc=1817

Who wants in?  This is an amazing tool.

It’s like the old expression:  “Give a man a fish and he has dinner tonight.  Teach him HOW to fish, and he has an endless supply of dinners.” Self hypnosis is fishing for personal development!

Join me in this marvelous adventure.  I invite you.  It’s two evenings wherein we stuff your mind full of new understandings of what is hypnosis, how does the mind work, how do we create change in ourselves, some language of influence, and this instant trigger for trance is installed. You learn to DO self hypnosis.  You learn and you play.  It’s experiential. Hypnosis happens.

Fun, fun, fun.  That’s my opinion and I’m sticking with it.

Here is an opportunity to get hypnotized and experience that state of being which is calm, quiet, clear-minded, and creative.  Here’s a chance to see something useful change in your life.  It’s my A Chance to Trance one evening experiential class at Bellevue College on 10/21/15 at 7:00 pm:

http://www.campusce.net/BC/course/course.aspx?C=12634&mc=1893&pc=1817

Hypnosis is an experience I believe everyone in the universe should enjoy as a means to goal achievement.  Not only do I teach hypnosis and use it in my business Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP, I use it myself.  And do you know what, it works!

People who have heard about hypnosis think it’s limited in it’s uses.  FALSE.  It can help achieve the proper mindset and body cooperation for any goal.  Here’s a personal example:

I had oral surgery yesterday.  It was supposedly “a big deal,” with pain killers prescribed and a million rules and do’s and don’t do’s for “post op.”  I used self hypnosis for accelerated, perfect healing, and do you know what?  Today I feel fine.  It took one ibuprofen after the surgery, that’s it.  No pain.  No swelling.  The surgeon was recommending sedation medication for the surgery itself (and told me that was typical for his patients).  I said, no thank you.  And I didn’t need it.  I used self hypnosis to remain calm, and relaxed throughout.

Our minds are more powerful than we use.  If you’re ready to learn more about hypnosis and experience that state for yourself, then my event next week is for you.  It’s moocho inexpensive.  You can sign up through Bellevue College at the link above.   Hope to see you there!

Greater Seattle Hypnosis Clinic

Written by Connie

Hypnotherapy NLP Office

Hi, Seattle Hypnosis Friends!

One of the (ridiculous) myths of hypnosis is that it’s something dark and scary and otherwordly. Hollywood movies conjure up frightening images of hypnosis done by strange men wearing dracula capes in dim, shrouded basements.  Accompanied by the sounds of maniacal laugher.  “I control their minds!!  I control their minds!!”

Uh, no!  That’s not what it is.

The reality?  Hypnosis is a type of super-accelerated effective communication.  Ideas are shared with the problem-solving part of the mind, and it gets to work creating change. It’s comfortable, it’s fun, it’s pleasant.  And professionals do it in professional spaces.

I’ve created a brief video below to share my Bellevue office space with you.  I LOVE my office, it reflects how I approach this work.  The key word is “professionalism.”  Take a peek:

Some part-time hobbyist “hypnotists” in the Seattle area don’t think an office is necessary. They do sessions over the telephone, while they’re sitting in their bedroom painting their toenails.  Here’s what I say about phone “sessions” on my FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions about Hypnosis) page:

“Hypnosis and NLP work is most effective face-to-face, which is why we don’t recommend  internet or phone sessions.  We don’t go for “watered down.”  We want your success!  Our work is interactive communications, and very hands on.  Verbal (sound) alone is a tiny, tiny bit of information being conveyed, we use the full spectrum of communications information, using ALL the senses, going in both directions.  Some of our favorite and most effective NLP techniques involve touch.  You can’t do touch over the phone.  Hypnosis deepening techniques also involve touch.”

Effectiveness!  Super important.  Professionalism.  It’s also super important.  We’re talking about your mind and your life and your goals being met.  You want someone fully committed to this work and your success. A hypnotherapist who maintains a private, professional office space is a positive indicator that you’ve found someone who is serious about the work. Hypnosis (and that includes NLP) is my full-time career, my passion, not just something I’m  doing “on the side” for a few bucks, like others in the Seattle area. Those people are hobbyists.  Not real hypnotists.  Not professionals.

When I was shopping for office spaces in the Seattle area, I was shocked at how many spaces were drab and dreary and noisy.  Shared spaces.  Closed-in rooms, with no light and no positive energy.  Not acceptable!  I chose a totally private office in Bellevue, it’s a positive energy space, in a beautiful, green park-like setting, close to the city and freeways and yet has a serene feel of “a world away.”  And I’ve filled my space with life and color and many, many pieces of fine art.  This is a space where I do “my art.”  That’s hypnosis and NLP and more.

Come see the hypnosis office in Bellevue for yourself.  We do offer free private in person consultations.  Like anything, it’s more beautiful in person.

Lose weight with Seattle's most effective hypnotherapy & NLP
Lose weight with Seattle’s most effective hypnotherapy & NLP.

Hi, Hypnosis Friends!

Here’s the story of three more Seattle area peeps who are enjoying success in weight loss and healthy eating after coming in to Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP for help.  Check out the video below:

The different women, three different positive feedback messages of ongoing success.

Kelli Zielinksi, of Seattle, WA, says:  “I’ve dropped two pant sizes!”

Liz, of Redmond, WA, says:  “I’m not so glued to the food.”

Nichole L, of Bellevue, WA, says:  “I haven’t had a donut in weeks, which is a MIRACLE!!”

Discover the ease and grace of weight loss through Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapy. Skilled hypnotherapy is great, skilled NLP is “hypnosis on steroids.”  Yes, indeed!  What’s cool about these tools is that new habits become automatic, so it’s not a struggle–you’re going with the flow, and the flow is healthy.  For dozens upon dozens more of my client success stories with weight management, read HERE!

As a reminder, Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP has won several awards for “Best Weight Loss and Control Program,” through the US Commerce Association.  We were ranked “Best of Bellevue” for the years 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014.

If your healthy New Year’s Resolutions have petered out, take control now.  I can help.

All the Best,

It’s Time! Hypnosis for your New Year’s Resolutions!

Written by Connie
Seattle's Best Hypnotherapy at Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP
Time for Skilled Hypnosis & NLP!

Hi, Hypnosis Friends!

Did you see the New Year’s fireworks celebration at the Seattle Space Needle?  I did!  It’s officially here, happy 2015!

“It’s time!”

Those are action activating words for me, and I hope for you as well. It’s time.

It’s the first week of January.  Time for assessing the new year ahead and taking stock of healthy goals. It’s time to lose that extra weight you’ve been carrying around.  It’s time to stop buying and smoking those ridiculously expensive and unhealthy cigarettes.

It’s time to dump the fear that’s been holding you back from truly experiencing and enjoying life and connecting with others:  fear of public speaking, fear of flying, fear of rejection…(you fill in the blank).  Fear is often unnecessary, and we can communicate that fact to the mind, on unconscious levels, and choose something different.

People tend to work those New Year’s Resolutions for a a day or two, a week or two, then give up.  You don’t have to go it alone when there is skilled help available.

I love what I do.  I help activate people’s desires and make them real.  My work (hypnosis and NLP Neuro-Linguistic Programming® ) is a joy-maker and a success-maker.  This time of year, people are very in touch with those desires–we call them New Year’s Resolutions.  Let’s make them real.  Call me and I’ll set up a free in person consultation in my office in Bellevue to explain the work I do and how your dreams CAN become reality.  (425) 564-8608.

Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapy is more powerful than “traditional” hypnotherapy alone. NLP is a conversational hypnosis that speaks directly to the mind beyond conscious thought, using the currency of life experience:  sights, sounds, smells, taste, emotion, and it’s an amazing success accelerant.  NLP is my prime work tool, as I am and Michael is also, a Licensed Trainer of NLP ® through the originator of NLP. There are only a few dozen of us at that skill & certification level working and teaching NLP in the United States.

Tick.  Tick.  Tick.  Time is moving.  And life is happening.  If you want yours to be different in positive ways that you have resolved, the time is now.

All the Best,
Connie

Creative Juices Hypnosis

Written by Connie

Hypnosis for Brain Power

Hi, Hypno-Friends!

I hope your holiday season is off to a smashing start.  More fun to continue…

I was musing this morning on the nature of change.  Change is what I sell.  Change is good. Change is choice.

There are really two kinds of change.   Fixing a problem type of change, quit smoking, lose weight, etc.  And that’s a great thing to accomplish!  However, there’s another kind of change, and that’s taking what is already good and making it better.  That’s called “generative change.”

I love helping people get their creativity and imaginations soaring.  Artists, musicians, athletes, writers, stock traders, people seeking a new career path.  🙂  People who are already doing well, but want more.  More power, more strength, more creativity, more “go for it.”  Marcela Kenevan of Gig Harbor, WA was one of my recent clients and she reports this type of change:

“I feel incredible. Woke up today brimming with creative inspiration.”  –Marcela Kenevan

Yay, Marcela!  You go, girl!

I’ve had an ongoing debate with several people for several years about what is more valuable to life success:  knowledge vs. creativity.  I vote for creativity.  So did Albert Einstein.  He said:

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”

If you need a boost of creative juice flow for any endeavor in life, think about hypnosis for that jump start.  It works!

All the Best,
Connie

Happy Five Year Anniversary to “The Hypnotizer!”

Written by Connie
Happy 5th Anniversary to "The Hypnotizer" Blog.
Happy 5th Anniversary to “The Hypnotizer” Blog.

Hi, Hypno-Friends!

It’s a landmark.  🙂  Five years!!  It’s been five years this month that I’ve been sharing my thoughts, insights, and passion for hypnosis and NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and the power of the mind here on this blog.  I’ve shared articles I’ve written, stories, client successes, videos I’ve created, event notices, musings, and more.  All original content. My thoughts, my voice, my stories.

I hope you’ve enjoyed reading, watching, learning, and thinking about the things that I have shared here.  I love what I do, and I love when someone realizes “yes, I can” and creates a better life.  Empowerment, that’s hypnosis.  Thanks for joining me on this ride into the power of personal change! If you’re new to my blog, I invite you to check out the full archive!  It’s located on the upper right column, midway down.  “Archives.”  Five years worth of reading pleasure.

To celebrate this landmark, I’ll be pulling out some vintage articles and stories from my blog that I’ve written and share them again.  Here’s one of my earliest posts from October 2009.

It’s cold and flu season (but not for me!)

Hi, guys! Who watches television? (Raising my own hand, but only half way.) 🙂 I hardly watch at all any more, because the quality of “what’s on” is going down, down, down, and my time for leisure is going down as well. That’s a good thing, but that’s also another topic. This one is:

Dramatic pause. Negative suggestions.

Watching TV this past week, I can’t help but notice the BOMBARDMENT of ads right now, commercials for cold & flu medicines and paraphernalia. Here’s the message: “It’s cold and flu season.” and that means “You’re going to get sick., you can expect to get sick.” I also notice that the stores are stocking the aisles with cold and flu medicines and products–prominent and in-your-face, on the end caps and special displays, with alarming banners warning that cold and flu season is here! Same message: “It’s time for you to get sick now! You’re going to get sick now.” It’s not a warning, per se, it’s a directive! It’s a negative suggestion. And our minds seem quite willing to embrace it without question!

Michael has a story he likes. He was in a work training with a woman. She told this story: She knew that every year she would have one bout of illness per cold and flu season, one only. The reason she’d only have one was because she’d prepare for it, and take massive doses of vitamins. She knew that she’d only get sick once! Her vitamins would protect her from further illness! And yes, it did transpire that she’d only get sick once per winter/season. BUT…one winter she got so busy and forgot to prepare with her vitamins, didn’t think about it at all. Guess what? She didn’t get sick that winter. Not once. Not at all. She forgot to get sick!!

Here’s a personal story about my personal experiences. This is NOT medical advice, because…I’m not medical. I’m a hypnotist. And here’s one positive side effect I enjoy from my hypnosis. Your mileage may vary.

I don’t get sick, either. Ever. Because I’ve decided not to. I USED to get sick, just like everyone else. Two major colds a year. At LEAST two. Until I discovered hypnosis and how the mind processes ideas and suggestions. Three years, (as of this writing, October 2009) and I haven’t been sick. Not a sniffle. I did have food poisoning for one day (some bad shrimp on a Vegas buffet), but it ended quite quickly. I don’t get sick because my unconscious mind rejects the idea, and does what it needs to do to make sure I stay well–strengthening my immune system, or whatever it wants to do. I can happily trust my unconscious to keep me well, and ignore those nitty gritty details as well. I don’t care how. I just know it’s in place. Wellness. I can hang around sick people, avoid hand sanitizer, ignore those commercials and product displays, no flu shot for me, and stay well. Three years and counting…

Hypnosis is incredibly powerful. And our understanding is just a miniscule slice of that giant cake. There’s so much more to know and learn. The unconscious mind knows how to keep us healthy. I talk to the mind in ways it likes, to do just that!

What do you suppose would happen if you decided to stay well this winter?

Warm Regards,
Connie

Hypnosis Works for a New Mind Set for Weight Loss and Healthy Living

Written by Connie
Hypnosis works for weight loss, Seattle
Right on!

Hi, Hypnosis Friends!

What’s your weight loss goal? Is it a number on a scale, or is it an improved way of being, a new mindset, a new healthy outlook, a new energy? This reminder on the scale was created by a brilliant young mind, age 13. And, as I know to be true, feeling better about yourself leads to the numbers on the scale going down, down, down.

Here’s the message, which I think is massively inspirational and should be taken to heart.

“It’s just a number…REALLY.

This number on this scale will NOT tell you:

* What a great person you are
* how many people love you and how much
* That you are kind, smart, funny, and amazing in ways numbers cannot define
* That you have power to choose happiness.
* Your own self-worth
* how beautiful you are

You are more than a number.”

When you’re ready for a healthy change, hypnotherapy helps.  I did hypnotize this little girl for healthy eating awhile ago.  She’s in the right mindset for success.  You can join her there anytime.

Warm Regards,
Connie

Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP for your end to anxiety.
Goodbye, Anxiety. Skilled hypnotherapy works.

Hi, Hypnosis Friends!

Here is another happy camper in the Seattle area testifying for Mindworks Hypnosis’ Neuro Linguistic Programming and hypnotherapy services.  Shelly F. came in with “severe anxiety.”  She reports after two sessions:  “I have absolutely no anxiety now!” Could this be possible?  YES!  Her comments:

“I came in a couple weeks ago with severe anxiety, and (after two sessions)… I am HAPPY!  And I am in love with Connie because she has made my life change for the better so much.  I have absolutely no anxiety now, and I’m excited to start working on some of the other things I have to fix. I would recommend her highly to anybody who is looking to feel better and live a better life.”  Shelly F., Seattle, WA

Is it magic?  Or is it the power of your mind, unleashed?  I opt for the latter.  You have more brain power to make changes than you currently use.  I’m happy to help you use your mind for healthy and happy changes.

Warm Regards,
Connie

More Photos of our Mindworks Hypnosis Office in Bellevue

Written by Connie

Hi, Hypno-Friends!

Some people are scared, they think hypnosis is dark and mysterious, when really, it is super relaxing and pleasant and even, “wow!”  I posted some photos the other day of my hypnotherapy office in Bellevue, so people can see the setting where this empowerment happens, and perhaps get a better feel for what it really is.

It seems synchronous that leaving the supermarket the other day, the checkout machine generated a coupon for me for a free photo book from Shutterfly.  So, I made a book with more info and pictures about Mindworks Hypnosis.

Here’s the result, captured as video.  This is my work space.  I have included pictures of the grounds of the Bellefield Office Park, where my office is located, which I think is amazingly beautiful.

Thanks for visiting my office, in this virtual photographic realm. The real thing is available anytime.  Call for a free consultation and I’m happy to explain more about what I do.

Happy May!

Mindworks Hypnosis has an A+ Rating with the Better Business Bureau

Written by Connie

Better Business Bureau Accredited BusinessHi, Hypno-Friends!

Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP is an Accredited Business with the Better Business Bureau of Washington State. I’m happy to announce that they’ve raised our rating from an A to an A+. That’s as good as it gets! Our accreditation is your assurance of professionalism and ethical business practices. You can read about us on the BBB website.

Let’s face it. This industry does tend to attract some fly-by-night, unskilled and less than reputable people. They’re out to make a buck, as opposed to our focus, which is to make a difference and help people to live more successful, joy-filled lives. Beyond the fact of no complaints, our Better Business Bureau A+ also indicates longevity and stability in the marketplace. 🙂

Whether or not a hypnotherapist is an Accredited Business is another piece of information that is appropriate to consider when looking for services.  When I was a kid in school, I always loved getting an A+.  I still do.  🙂

Happy International Day of Happiness – From Mindworks Hypnosis

Written by Connie

The UN declares, and of course I agree:  “The pursuit of happiness is a fundamental human goal.”  Yesterday, the world celebrated happy, with the 2014 International Day of Happiness.  If you want to hear some uber-catchy happy music and see some happy faces and bodies dancing to it, look on Youtube.com under the search term hashtag happy, #HAPPY.

Here’s one:

I think we should do more of that.  🙂  I think happiness is too big to contain within a single calendar day, and should be welcomed and celebrated and lived every day.  What kind of a world would it be if people were HAPPY every day?  A different world, a better world.  Because…

In the words of my favorite teacher, Dr. Richard Bandler:  “Good feelings, good decisions.  Bad feelings, bad decisions.”  My work is all about good feelings, and making them unconsciously automated.  That’s hypnosis and NLP.  When you feel good, you think differently, and you act differently in ways that are useful.

Learn more anytime about the power of hypnosis and how easy it really is to find your happy.  Here:  http://www.mindworkshypnosis.net

Warm Regards,
Connie

Shape of Success – Hypnosis is Empowerment

Written by Connie
Hypnosis is Empowerment
Hypnosis is Empowerment.

What if your life were like a hunk of modeling clay and you had the power to grab it and form it and shape it to match your desires? Wouldn’t that be cool?

Well…It is cool, and it is also truth! The power of your mind is what hypnosis is all about. With hypnosis, you tap into your subconscious mind, your creative mind, the part of you that turns ideas into reality.

Let’s do it!

Imagination is key.  A sculptor looks at a block of stone and sees something alive within it.  And he releases that vision.  The unimaginative might look at that same block of stone, and say:  “There’s nothing there.  It’s just a block of stone.”  No potential to be anything else.  And they (the unimaginative) would be wrong.  Hypnosis unlocks the sculptor in you.

If you’re ready to understand the control and choices you have in your life, call us! (425) 564-8608. Hypnosis is empowerment to stop smoking, lose weight, end fear, and more.  Create the shape of success for yourself.

Warm Regards,

“20+ Years of Severe Depression” Ended with Hypnosis – Seattle Client Testimonial

Written by Connie
Find Your Power
Find Your Power - Hypnosis is a tool to do just that!

I often get asked about hypnosis.  Is it real?  Does it generate change?  Do the changes last?  Yes, yes, and yes.  🙂  When a client  successfully updates a program in their mind, it stays updated.  I got a wonderful testimonial of ongoing success from Karel Creason, of Bellevue, WA, about a year after our work.

“Connie Brannan has helped me change the way I think about myself and my life.  I saw her primarily for help with weight loss, but I ended up realizing many other positive changes at the same time. I was surprised and so pleased with the lasting results of my sessions: ability to concentrate on the way I wanted to eat, improvement in my personal relationships, and a completely rejuvenated interest in life.

After 20+ years of severe depression, I was amazed to find that I was free of it after just a single session.  I am so grateful that I had the good sense to see Connie, and I recommend her services to anyone who wants similar improvements in their life.”  — Karel Creason, Bellevue, WA.

In general, people have no clue about the power of their own minds to effect positive changes.  Hypnosis is a tool to unlock that power.  It’s not mind control, (as some erroneously believe) it’s empowerment.  Karel created these changes in herself.  Good job!

When you focus your mind on a goal or goals using the tools of Neuro-Linguistic Programming and hypnotherapy, your mind creates the pathway to those goals, the strategies, new thinking, new behaviors, and forward movement required.  Massive success and change is possible, as this client success story attests.

I think I’m in love with hypnosis.  And when the uninformed dismiss it, it’s very, very, very sad.

Warm Regards,
Connie

This event is hypnosis hands on.  Experiential.  You get hypnotized, for your healthy changes.  Not only do you learn ABOUT hypnosis, you DO hypnosis.  I guide you, and then you play with hypnosis yourself, on an ongoing basis.  It’s like the old saying:  give a man a fish and he has dinner, teach him how to fish, and he can feed himself for a lifetime.  Hypnosis will feed your well-being for a lifetime.

The school location is Bellevue, through Bellevue College’s continuing education department, however, I’m hoping we attract learners from every corner of Seattle and beyond.  Hypnosis is too big and wonderful to be contained geographically.

Learn more here:

http://www.campusce.net/BC/course/course.aspx?C=12481&pc=1066&mc=1387&sc=

These courses are a lot of fun.  I do hope you’ll join me.  Learn self hypnosis to quit smoking for the low low price of $89.  When you think about the costs of smoking to your pocketbook and your health, this is an amazing opportunity.

Warm Regards,
Connie

Positive Transformations With Neuro Linguistic Hypnotherapy

Written by Connie
Life is Good!

It’s February!  Yay!  And I’m of a musing mind.  Here’s a story:

Another client reports to me that she has said “adios” to her years upon years long counselor after working with me a few sessions. Now, I’m not saying that talk therapist counselors are inept, wrong-minded and wrap people deeper and deeper into their problems, with an endless quest for “why,”…obviously my client is feeling so much more empowered and happy in her life that she simply doesn’t feel the need to go sit and whine about problems anymore. She agreed with my plan: get rid of them instead!

Everything about this girl has changed, and it’s so beautiful to see. She came in hiding under a hood, so filled with anxiety and fear and paranoia in her life, face twitching and chewing her lip, insomnia, jealousy … She looks different now, her hair, her makeup, her clothes, her posture, her tonality (confident!!), her face is smooth and beautiful, she smiles, she reports that she is sleeping “better than she ever has,” she’s glowing, says this has impacted her kids, they’re laughing and smiling and enjoying life more, too. That’s what a little creative NLP/hypnosis will do for you. It’s been less than a month since I began working with her.

I often notice that the people with the quote unquote “biggest problems” are the ones to have the easiest, most dramatic transformation. They’ve hypnotized themselves into having problems, and we re-direct all that creative power in a new direction, one that feels better and leads to achieving their goals instead. I love what I do!!!!!!!!!!!!

A new client was paying me yesterday and made a semi-snarky comment about how getting the money must be my favorite part. No way. You’re mistaking me for some other Seattle area hypnotist(s). The above description of a positive transformation is my favorite part. That’s why I do this.

Warm Regards,
Connie

Stop Hiding the Hypnosis!

Written by Connie
Hiding the truth about hypnosis!

Hi, Hypnosis Friends and Enthusiasts!

Hypnosis is a larger field of study and practice than what is generally known.  It’s being used all over the place, and not by “hypnotists.”  There’s more to it, than the world commonly acknowledges.  You know why that is?  People hide the fact that what they’re teaching and doing IS hypnosis.

The word hypnosis has a negative, perjorative, fear-infused connotation in some people’s minds.  Unfortunate, and absolutely ridiculous!  And that generates fear, and hiding on the part of hypnosis sellers.  There are teachers and change workers creating fancy new words and titles and acronyms for the work they are doing.  Hey, buddy ….pssst.  Some of us do know.  It’s all hypnosis.

I attended a training last year on enhanced reading and rapid absorption of information that was absolutely, 100% hypnosis.  They never used the word, in their literature, in their marketing, or in the course itself.  They called it something else, which they had created to hide the fact that it is hypnosis.  They even hawked self-hypnosis CDs which they also called something else.  I asked the instructor:  “Why don’t you call this what it really is?”  He never responded.

I don’t hide my hypnosis.  I am PROUD to be a hypnotist.  I’d rather change the misconceptions in the world rather than try to camoflauge what I do.

What is hypnosis?  It’s communication on deeper levels within our own brain, it’s a doorway to resourcefulness.  To creativity.  To power.  It’s 100% organic and natural, it’s amazing, and lovely, and pure positive goodness.

I wish these practitioners of hypnosis who sell it as something else just in order to get more students and to make more money would stop that.  You’re helping to keep the ridiculous myths alive.  How will the understanding of hypnosis in the world change for the better if you continue to hide it’s power and success?

Stop hiding the hypnosis!

Warm Regards,
Connie (Hypnotist, and proud of that!)

Problems: A Vanishing Act

Written by Connie
Find your confidence with hypnosis & NLP.

Hi, Hypno-Friends!

Here is another story.  🙂  A client came in to enhance her business success.  Her problem?  A feeling of not being “good enough” or “smart enough” — in a nutshell, a lack of confidence.   She found herself feeling anxious and unable to speak up during business meetings–even when she had valuable things to say.

I found out what she wanted instead.  We began the work.  Suddenly, she burst out angrily at me:

“Why are you laughing?  You’re trivializing my problem.”

I answered her:  “That’s right.  I am.  And so will you.  It IS trivial.  Ridiculous, in fact.”

That’s what we want to create!  A “problem” so small and trivial that you can’t even see it or experience it.  When she feels more confident and “good enough,” in fact, there is no problem.  It dissolves.

What she didn’t yet realize is that the work was already unfolding and being successful…we were working on confidence building.  The presenting problem:  she was unable to speak her mind.  Yet, suddenly, here she was speaking her mind, to me.  Loud and clear.   Yay!

I’m remembering an episode of Star Trek.  (I LOVED that show.)  In it there was an alien creature which fed on negative emotion.  The more angry and violent negative emotions it could generate in the people around it, the stronger it got.  When Kirk & Spock et. al. started laughing (with the help of Dr. McCoy and his “laughing gas”) well the monster weakened and decided to leave.

Here’s what clients begin to understand via my work with them:  A problem is not REAL.  It is conjured in the mind and body.  It is merely a frame of mind, a way of thinking.   And that is very, very subject to change.  A problem can be reframed  to the point it is un-conjured.  That’s what we do in my office.

When the woman left, she commented that her breathing felt easier.  We tested her new responses.  She thought the previously “anxious-making” thoughts, and anxiety was a no-show.  Her body language had changed, as well.  She was speaking louder and sitting taller.  Her eye contact was more direct.  I notice these things.  Confidence seeds sprouting all over.    I guess it really was a trivial non-problem after all, wasn’t it?

Warm Regards,
Connie

It’s Your Power – Hypnosis!

Written by Connie

There was an ice cream parlor of my childhood.  It was called “Farrell’s.”  Their song, their jingle which I still remember: “Farrell’s is fabulous fun for everyone.”  Well, I’m borrowing that tune.  Hypnosis is fabulous fun for everyone!  Yes, it is!  🙂  It’s pleasant.  And it’s useful.  It’s a method to move you into your power.

All the positive changes that happen in hypnosis.  Quitting smoking, losing weight, ending fear, and etc.  That’s your power, not the hypnotist’s power.  I help you find your power and change your thinking, feeling, doing.  That changes everything!

When you find your power, that’s like moving from a cramped basement studio apartment into a palatial penthouse suite.  Or a mansion.  It’s bigger, and nicer.   More fun!  Go for it!

Presenting Well Makes All the Difference

Written by Connie
She Got the Job – with the help of Seattle’s Mindworks Hypnosis

I received a nice email report from client, Tracy F. of Seattle.  We had a session of Neuro Linguistic Hypnotherapy to prepare her for an important job interview.  She had been having fear, and anxiety around it.  The email read:

“Connie, I wanted to let you know, after being hypnotized for a calmer and more relaxed state for the job interview, I wanted you to know that I GOT THE JOB!!  I appreciate all your help, it was a remarkable difference!!! Hurray!!!  Thank you!”  — Tracy F, Seattle, WA

Yay, Tracy.  🙂  She solidified her position as “best” by presenting herself well.

In this job market, every little bit helps.  Do you have an interview or business presentation coming up?  If you would like an advantage called “CONFIDENCE” or “CALM” or both… well, let me help you.  It’s what I do.

Warm Regards,
Connie
